Editor's Overview

SearchLauncher is a launcher application developed by Joep Meindertsma, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.0 weighing in at 22.46 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 22.46 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Joep Meindertsma" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Your home screen opens with a keyboard. One bar finds everything on your phone and everything on the web, and opens what you find in a browser that blocks ads.

SEARCH ANYTHING
Apps, app shortcuts, contacts, device settings, downloads, calendar events for the coming week, text snippets and your own custom actions. Ranking learns from what you pick, so the next time is faster.

SEARCH INSIDE APPS, NOT JUST FOR THEM
Type y for YouTube, m for Maps, w for Wikipedia, then what you are looking for. Add a shortcut for any site with a search URL, and give it whatever letter you like.

ONE FIELD THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU TYPED
A sum gets an answer you can tap to copy. A web address opens. "5m pasta" sets a timer. A phone number offers to call it, message it, or save it as a contact. An email address offers to write to it.

A BROWSER WITH NO ADS
Web results open in the app, with ads and trackers blocked by default. Swipe the search bar sideways to move between tabs, or up to see them all as live previews. Both work from the home screen, so your tabs are one gesture away without opening a browser first. Save a page under a title you choose, and find visited pages back from the search bar. Private windows, file uploads, picture-in-picture video and hardware keyboard shortcuts are all included.

FEWER ICONS, MORE ROOM FOR WIDGETS
Add a widget by typing its name, resize it by dragging, and tap the wallpaper to show or hide them all. On a tablet they lay out in columns rather than one widget stretched across the display.

MAKE IT YOURS
Swipe through your own wallpapers. The theme colour can follow the wallpaper behind the search bar. Monochrome icons are optional. Dark mode, a true black OLED mode, a row of favourites, voice search, and export and import of everything you have set up.

Use it as your default launcher, or as a widget on the launcher you already have.

PRIVACY
Nothing is sent anywhere by default. Search suggestions are optional, and when you turn them on, what you type goes to whichever provider the shortcut names. Crash reporting is opt-in. Contacts and calendar entries are read on your device to answer what you typed and are never uploaded. The browser's blocklist is downloaded from the StevenBlack hosts project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SearchLauncher free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does SearchLauncher require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is SearchLauncher safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Joep Meindertsma. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update SearchLauncher?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
